see what's happening to one of my favouritest sport's:
The game of [field] hockey has not been faring too well on the wee islet lately and now wants to make a comeback.
the *only* PE game that i was quite rather good at whilst in school.
anyways, i can speculate a few reason's as to why the sport is in the doldrum's:
1. 99.99% of em girlies are only interested in sport that allow em to flap, wave and screech like loony banshee's throughout - egs: basketball, netball, volleyball
2. wee islander's of both sexes have very poor hand-eye-brain co-ordination - that may explain why footy reigns amongst the blokes
3. girlies dislike being covered with bruises, so god forbid if opponent's "accidentally" hit their sticks against said girlies
4. wee islander's of both sexes only take up pseudo-sport that are popular with the masses - egs: wakeboardin, water skiing, dragon boating, touch rugby - which incidentally, are favoured by white expat's
unless the hockey federation takes a leaf out of the islet's rugby union's book of aggressive marketing, i'm afraid hockey will suffer the same fate as squash.
the game that the islet achieved respectable bluemarble wide standin from the mid 80's till early 90's.
